What you are actually buying
The part the spec sheet leaves out.
Already in the country
Your board is in Johannesburg, not on a ship.
The Courier Guy delivers it to your door in one to four working days, free, anywhere in South Africa. No import duty, no customs, no six-week wait.
The honest number
Quoted range assumes a 70 kg rider on flat tarmac.
Yours will not be flat and you are probably not 70 kg. The range calculator derates for your weight, your hills and the speed you actually ride, so the number you plan around is your number.
After you buy
Six-month local warranty, spares held in the country.
And people on WhatsApp who ride these boards themselves. If something goes wrong it is handled here, not by a reseller overseas.
